The hearth cannot be installed on car-

pet. If carpet is on the floor, pull it back

from the corner to allow you to properly

position the hearth [it can be cut after

the hearth and firebox are securely in

their final position.]

The hearth must be located and the

baseboard cut before the firebox can be

installed.

Measuring from the wall corner along

both walls, make sure that the back

corners of the hearth are the same dis-

tance from the inside wall corner.

Insure that the hearth is level. A couple

of wood shims [not supplied for this

purpose] carefully positioned under the

hearth can help keep it level while the

cement dries. Make sure that any shims

used are removed and the holes touched-

up with cement.

You will have to construct a riser of

wood on which the firebox can be set.

This would finish off flush with the

hearth surface.

Keeping in mind that the back corners

of the hearth will be touching the

drywall face when it is in its final

position, mark the baseboard where it is

to be cut. Remove the hearth, and cut the

baseboard.

The hearth, in most cases, will have to

be set into a bed of thinset cement in or-

der to insure that it is perfectly level.

Butter the bottom of the hearth with a

thin bead of the cement provided, and

reset the hearth into position.

Remove the beam, and then carefully

set one of the backpanel sides into posi-

tion behind the leg. Make a small pencil

mark on the hearth surface

[alternatively, use a piece of tape]. This

will be your reference point for position-

ing the firebox. When the Bolero front is

mounted onto the firebox, the back of

the cast front will be in line with this

pencil line you just made. Remove side

backpanel and legs, and install the fire-

box into its proper position.

Check their fit against the hearth. Care-

fully lower the beam into position be-

tween the two legs, to define the proper

distance between them. While carefully

holding these three pieces in place, posi-

tion the two leg brackets against the

granite lugs on the inside top of each leg,

and make a mark on the wall where the

hole in the bracket rests.

It is best to do a dry fit of the legs and

beams in order to locate the mounting

brackets. Carefully place the legs into

position on the hearth, making sure that

they are the correct end up.

Note; when placing any of the granite

parts take special care to not chip any

edges. This can easily occur when a part

isn’t placed properly and falls into place

when it is released.

Take care not to stand on the hearth as

this may cause it to lose level!!

Install the corner brackets, insuring that

the fasteners are securely mounted to the

wall. Frequently, there is adequate fram-

ing tight into the corner that can be

screwed into. If not, then you will have to

use the appropriate wall plugs. Note how

the brackets overlap.

Use a black silicone to hold the insure

that the parts of the mantel do not shift

once they are in position. Run a bead of

the silicone along the bottom of the leg

where it comes in contact with the

hearth, and carefully lower it into

position. Install a side bracket onto the

wall using the wall plugs to secure the

leg into position. Repeat for the other leg

in the same fashion.

Make sure the firebox is centered on

the hearth!

With a level, make a mark in the back

corner that is level with the top of the

leg. This is where the bottom of the shelf

will sit. Now measure the thickness of

the block on the bottom of the shelf at

the back corner. Make a mark on the cor-

ner wall down from the line that

indicates the height of the leg, that is

equal to this block thickness. This is

where the top of the corner brackets will

rest.

After running a bead of black silicone

along the appropriate edges, the beam

can now be lowered into position

between the legs. Again, take care when

lowering this piece, to insure that it does

not drop and chip. Inspect all joints to

make sure they are closed. Clean off any

excess silicone. Any that is left can easily

be cut off with a blade once it has dried.

The center backpanel can now be

installed. A thin bead of silicone should

be applied on the side edges where it

comes in contact with the side

backpanels.

Note; damage can often occur at this

step if this piece isn’t seated on the side

backpanels properly.

Run a bead of black silicone along the

back edge of the leg, and gently set one

backpanel side in place, aligned with the

firebox. Insure that you have the back-

panel the correct side up. Install the other

backpanel side in the same fashion.

Care and Maintenance of the Octavia mantel

Wax Removal

In the event some hot wax is spilt on the mantel or hearth wait for it to cool. When the

wax is cool CAREFULLY pick it off with the tip of a sharp object (i.e. Knife). When using

the sharp object it is very important that the tip (or any other part) of the sharp edge is

not pushed into the finish of the effected area, as this will chip the finish.Use a

commercial wax remover for any remaining residues, testing the remover on an

inconspicuous area of the mantel prior to use on the effected area.

Spilt Liquids

Spills and stains should be removed as soon as possible for best results. Dab up spills

with a clean cloth or paper towels, avoiding wiping the spill. Water and soap will clean

up most spills, providing that they are addressed quickly. Avoid using strong acids or

chemicals with a strong acid reaction, as they might roughen the surface if left on for

any length of time. It is always best to test the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous part

of the mantel in order to check its impact on the finish. Dust and air born dirt will set-

tle on any mantel surface. This can easily be removed by a vacuum with a soft bristle

head. Be careful to not scratch the surface in the process.

Carefully lift the shelf and slide it into

position, locating the back block under

the shelf into the corner brackets affixed

to the wall.

The Bolero front can now be carefully

and gently slipped into position.
